Today I had a nasty experience and a somewhat good one. First the good, notice the bag of jellybeans open there on the left? It's co-branded by Lifesavers. Lots of times there's really no meaning or difference behind co-branding, expect of course the slightly higher price. However in this case it means a lot. These jellybeans taste exactly like Lifesavers! It's uncanny. I only bought two bags since I had no idea how they'd taste and there's some jellybeans I really don't like. Now I wish I'd bought a few more bags. They're on half-price Easter clearance so I doubt they'll stick around long. The malted milk balls were good too. Yummy, in fact. The bad part of the day was at a gas pump. Ouch. The last time I filled my tank, 2 weeks back, was the first time I'd ever paid over $40 at a gas pump. Well, that record got broken pretty quick: today I spent over $50! Scared the bejesus out of me! The gas was $3.21 a gallon and normally my tank doesn'...

My car is almost out of gas--according to the handy dandy gauge there's 27 miles left to go in the tank--and the lowest price gas in the area is $3.0599. Paying over $3 a gallon has been a sticking point for me and thus far I've been able to avoid it. But now I'm down to one last commute before my tank runs dry. Dammit. Maybe I can drain the gas can in the shed--it's probably got 2 gallons in it--and last a few more days. If I'm lucky the prices will drop 6 cents a gallon in the meantime. Yeah, right. And my experiment on the chick embryos didn't work today --they'd not developed as far as they should have-- which means trying again tomorrow which throws off the timing which means coming into work on the weekend for 4 hours. Dammit.
